Appearing under many different guises, mermaids have a long, varied history dating back many centuries. Our modern day perception of mermaids is primarily based upon the mermaids and merrows of northern Europe, especially Scandinavia, Scotland and Ireland, as well as the sirens of ancient Greece. However, water spirits of some type exist in almost every culture situated near bodies of water, be they oceans, lakes, rivers or even wells and springs. This collection gathers together examples of the earliest scholarship on mermaids and their folkloric relatives, including several articles about their history from ancient times to the nineteenth century when mermaids captured the public and literary imagination during the folklore renaissance of the 1800s. In addition to the articles, over 150 tales and ballads about mermaids and other water spirits from around the world are compiled into this one convenient anthology. The emphasis is on the European mermaid in her many guises, but stories from Africa, Asia, and the Americas are also included. Whether you are a mermaid enthusiast or a student of folklore, this anthology offers a diverse array of tales with a unifying theme that both entertains and educates, all gathered for the first time in one helpful collection.

The traditional retold FAIRY TALES in this volume speak of the awesome and the marvellous, of the perilous and the exhilarating. We shall explore the traditional, age-old stories for children our ancestors have told us about MERMAIDS. Have you stood on the shore of a great ocean? Have you watched the crash of wave after wave, tirelessly, against rock and sand? Have your felt your feet sink into the mud of the river bank, scented with moss, and sediments, and old magic? In this series of fairy tales books we sink into the old tales for kids that speak of magic. What better, then, than to explore the stories of the denizens of the water? At times dancing tricksters, at times Kings and Queens set on vengeance; mermaids are like us. We see in them the deepest fears and wants that our hearts hold. They have freedom, eternal beauty, talents that go way beyond our imaginations. If you are at least a little bit curious, dive into the deep end of the pool. Let your eyes, ears, and heart be flooded by the voices of the mermaids of old. Let the songs of the water win you over...

Dive into centuries of mermaid lore with these captivating tales from around the world. A Penguin Classic Among the oldest and most popular mythical beings, mermaids and other merfolk have captured the imagination since long before Ariel sold her voice to a sea witch in the beloved Disney film adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's "The Little Mermaid." As far back as the eighth century B.C., sailors in Homer's Odyssey stuffed wax in their ears to resist the Sirens, who lured men to their watery deaths with song. More than two thousand years later, the gullible New York public lined up to witness a mummified "mermaid" specimen that the enterprising showman P. T. Barnum swore was real. The Penguin Book of Mermaids is a treasury of such tales about merfolk and water spirits from different cultures, ranging from Scottish selkies to Hindu water-serpents to Chilean sea fairies. A third of the selections are published here in English for the first time, and all are accompanied by commentary that explores their undercurrents, showing us how public perceptions of this popular mythical hybrid--at once a human and a fish--illuminate issues of gender, spirituality, ecology, and sexuality.

Though they are spiritual beings, some mermaids incarnate in the form of human women. If this is the case, how might we identify them? As children, they spend hours in water every day. As adults, they like to be around large bodies of water. Being in water renews them and enables them to feel fully alive. They are also extremely empathic. On a bell curve of seven billion people, their empathy-their ability to feel what other's feel-is at the highest level. When their auras pass through other people they sense the other person's emotional life as if it is their own. And in almost every case, they will say they exist to love. Many of them have never had a mean thought in their lives nor have they experienced jealousy. And this too-they never lose their innocence; they cannot stop giving all of themselves in every moment. In this book are stories of what it is like for such mermaid women to live among us, how men respond to them, and what the mermaid realm's point of view is in regard to humanity. You can decide for yourself if the love these women embody has ever appeared in history, in literature, or in any religion or wisdom tradition.
